I am sorry things have not worked out for you yet at XJ. A buddy of mine just came back from recurrent not too long ago, and he asked our DO regarding our blocked hours in 2010. He said according to JR, our blocked hours for 2010 have been increased quite a bit for CRJ9s and CRJ2s, roughly 25% to 30% over 2009 hours. What this would mean for those of you who are waiting to get hired, no one knows yet. If the economy really picks up in 2010, who knows, maybe things will turn around. But unless XJ gets more aircraft to replace Saabs that are getting parked, you won't see any hiring in 2010. However, this industry can change on a moments notice. So who knows what will happen in 2010.
